Leaders across the state have raised concerns regarding the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future education plan and now, Governor Moore may be hinting that the price is steep. 

The multi-billion dollar Blueprint was passed by the General Assembly in 2021, and calls for $3.8 billion in education funding yearly over the next decade with $4 billion each year after that.

Moore told Baltimore’s Fox 45 News there are challenges in implementing a plan that has a feasible financial pathway for everyone…

 

I believe in the tenants of the blueprint, I believe that we need to make sure we have a world class education system, I believe we need to have an education system that does start earlier, I believe we need have an education system that focuses on career technical education and creating more pathways into the workforce for our students and I believe we need to have a blueprint that local jurisdictions are bought into and that has sustainable financial pathway."
